Hello everyone,
I have a travel 7 strings multiscale guitar that looks like this
Specs:
- Overall: 4kg
- Body: 32cm length, 5cm of thickness, 3kg weight
- Neck: 72cm length, probably 1kg weight.
Too heavy for a travel guitar and for my shoulder. So that I want to make it to be lighter.
I can only think about turning it into a headless with tremolo, because of cutting head and routing cavity. I quite want some effects from a tremolo/vibrator sometimes, but most of the time I don't. Anyway, I had bought a cheap tremolo bridge from Aliexpress and am waiting for it to arrive. But not to immediately add it to the guitar, I want to see how a multiscale tremolo looks like, then decide later.
That is the only way I can figure out. But I still want to ask you luthiers, do you know any way else to make this guitar lighter?
Thank you.
